Description
Steps to reproduce: 1) Open http://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/accordion/default.html in IE9+ with JAWS 12+. 2) This will display the collapsible accordion with Section1 open. 3) Navigate the accordion listening for expanded/collapsed information. 4) Open http://www.oaa-accessibility.org/examplep/accordian1/ in IE9+ with JAWS 12+ 5) Navigate the accordion listening for expanded/collapsed information. (Note: I am not for their use of image based "expanded/collapsed" graphics with alt attributes because the information is repeated. Please stick with the span based indicators.)
According to the WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#accordion), "An accordion should manage the expanded/collapsed state of each TAB by maintain its aria-expanded state."
The aria-expanded attribute should be on the HTML element where role="tab" not role="tabpanel"
This will supply the expanded/contracted information to all AT when navigating the accordion.

I tested with NVDA 2013.1.1 and it does announce the expanded and collapsed information on the http://www.oaa-accessibility.org/examplep/accordian1/ example.

The documentation on the attribute does seem to indicate that it is intended to be applied to the headers and not the panels.
VoiceOver did not give me useful information regardless of where I placed the attributes, but that might just be my VoiceOver ignorance. I don't have access to JAWS at the moment but I should be able to take a look next week.
